This is an oil pastel on an under painting of Matisse Ground Colors (gesso) Most of the background was painted in with colored gesso. 11 by 14 inches on Windsor Newton Professional canvas panel. This was a commission painting.

I probably should not be posting here because I can't begin to keep up and comment on the work show here as I should. I'm just showing these because I had mentioned that I was working on a non-commission-commission. A lady came by my booth at an art fair, saw my painting of Gus and other animals...

This is my first entry for the month. The dog has issues but I thought the boy came out good for me. I have trouble with people I guess I need to draw them more. Well here it is for what its worth. 8x10 charcoal on Strathmore pastel paper. Please feel free to comment Geri
